이 연구는 SNS상에서 제품에 대한 사용자의 구전정보의 특성이 소비자 태도에 미치는 영향을 실증적으로 검증하는 것을 목적으로 하였다. 특히 긍정 혹은 부정적 내용으로 나뉜 메시지와 소비자태도의 관계에 있어서, 메시지의 사실성, 동의성, 사회적 실재감, 상호작용의 조절효과가 있는지 살펴보았다. SNS 사용 대학생을 대상으로 수집한 554개 표본을 대상으로 실증분석한 결과, 구전 메시지의 방향성에 따라 소비자 태도는 유의적인 변화를 보였으며, 특히, 메시지가 판단적일 때보다 사실적일 때, 그리고 메시지에 대해 SNS사용자가 다양한 동의감을 표출할수록 더 큰 영향을 받았다. 한편, 참여자의 실재감이나 상호작용 등 SNS의 고유한 특성은 유의적인 조절효과가 발견되지 않았으며 이들은 소비자 태도에 직접 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 SNS에서의 소비자 태도 형성과정에서 메시지의 특성과 SNS특성에 따라 소비자 태도가 어떻게 영향을 받는지 학술적 연구의 범위를 확대하였고, SNS를 통해 마케팅 활동을 수행하는 실무자들에게도 유용한 시사점을 제시한다.

This research analyzes the influence of mobile commerce characteristics on consumer's purchase intention using a theoretical Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) constructed on previous studies and a review of the literature to explain the effect of mobile fashion shopping characteristics on consumer's purchase intention. In constructing structural equation model, Mobile commerce characteristics variables such as 'security', 'enjoyment', and 'personalization' were selected as external variables affecting TAM. A questionnaire was distributed to consumers in their 20's-30's who had purchased fashion products using a mobile shopping channel. Statistical methods of confirmatory factor analysis, correlation, and covariance structural analysis using Amos 19.0 package were employed for the analysis of 453 effective data responses. The results were as follows. First, extended TAM was shown be the appropriate model to explain the influence of mobile commerce characteristics on consumer's purchase intention in mobile fashion shopping. Second, 'security' had a significant positive influence on perceived usefulness (PU), however it affected perceived ease of use (PEOU) negatively. Third, 'enjoyment' had a significant influence only on PEOU, while 'personalization' was found to affect both PEOU and PU significantly. Fourth, PEOU affected PU significantly. Finally, both PEOU and PU had a significant influence on consumer's purchase intention.

This study was conducted to analyze sensory characteristics and consumer acceptance with cookies made using various levels(0, 2, 4, 6 and 8% w/w) of Chrysanthemum indicum L. powder. Ten panels assessed sensory characteristics using a 15-point hedonic scale and forty-five consumers evaluated their acceptance based on a 7-point hedonic scale and best-worst scaling. The descriptive analyses reveled that cookie flavor did not differ significantly between the 2% added sample and the control. Cookie color and after taste increased significantly, while hardness, roasted taste, and sweetness taste decreased significantly according to increasing Chrysanthemum indicum L. powder concentration. In addition, the results of consumer acceptance showed that the overall acceptability, appearance, color, flavor, and taste decreased significantly in response to increasing Chrysanthemum indicum L. powder concentration. However, color, flavor, taste and overall acceptance with cookies did not differ significantly differ between the 2% and 4% sample. Additionally, among the cookies made with Chrysanthemum indicum L. powder, the 2% sample received the highest scores. In conclusion, the sensory optimal ratio of Chrysanthemum indicum L. powder was 2% based on the descriptive analysis of sensory characteristics and the consumer-acceptance testing.

Purpose - The environment-friendly agricultural product market in Korea sees continual high growth. Recently, the Korean government has been actively fostering environment-friendly agriculture as an engine of future growth. Korean people have increasingly become more health-conscious and interested in food safety issues. Many distribution and retailing companies have responded with various promotional activities. However, most of these are not strategic and appear to have unsatisfactory outcomes. The main purpose of this paper is to suggest effective marketing strategies for environment-friendly agricultural products. To achieve this aim, the study empirically investigates the effects of consumer characteristics and trust on the purchase intention of environment-friendly agricultural products. Research design, data, methodology - Based on the theory of planned behavior, and previous studies related to the purchase intention and consumption of environment-friendly agricultural products, we set up five study hypotheses. These related to the demographic characteristics of consumers, purchase intention, and behavior of the products. We then set up a study model and four study hypotheses relating to health consciousness, environmental consciousness, consumer trust level, purchase intention, and behavior of the products. The data were collected using a questionnaire given to consumers living in Seoul and southern Geonggi Province. The final sample size is 403 and mean age is 44.3. SPSS 15.0 for Windows and Amos 7.0 were used as statistical analysis tools. Meaningful results were derived using frequency analysis, correlation analysis, a t-test, and structural equation modeling. Results - Empirical results of this research are as follows. (1) First, it is shown that consumers consider such attributes as intimacy and health to be important when they buy environment-friendly agricultural products. (2) We also found that consumers recognize the value of environment-friendly agricultural products as high, but their trust level as low. (3) Consumer groups consisting of married couples, with higher education, higher income, and higher age are shown to have a higher intention of buying environment-friendly agricultural products than any other consumer group. (4) It is estimated that the level of consumer trust positively affects the purchase intention of environment-friendly agricultural products. The path coefficient (.138) between consumer trust and purchase intention is statistically significant at the α = .05 level. (5). It is also estimated that environmental consciousness positively affects purchase intention. The path coefficient (.245) between environmental consciousness and purchase intention is statistically significant at the α = 0.05 level. The standardized path coefficients of consumer trust and environmental consciousness with purchase intention are .556 and .288 respectively. Therefore, consumer trust affects purchase intention more than environmental consciousness. (6) Finally, purchase intention is estimated to positively affect purchase behavior. Conclusions - Based upon empirical results, this research suggests that marketers of environment-friendly agricultural products should focus more on increasing consumer trust levels, emphasizing the training and education of employees. The government also should pay attention to a standardized certification system for environment-friendly agricultural products. Marketers of environment-friendly agricultural products should consider the consumer groups of married couples, with higher education, higher income, and higher age as a major target segment.

The purposes of this study were (1) to segment female college students' apparel shoppers into unique apparel buying decision-making style groups; and (2) to profile for each segment in terms of personal characteristics (material values, change seeking tendency and prestige sensitivity) and fashion information sources. Data were collected through questionnaires from convenient sample of 290 female college students. As a result of cluster analysis and univariate analysis of variance, distinctive consumer decision-making style groups of consumers were identified; Value-maximizing Recreational Shoppers, Brand-Maximizing Emotional Shoppers, and Apathetic Shoppers. These three groups were compared as to the effect of personal characteristics variables and fashion information sources through univariate analysis of variance and chi-square statistics. The result showed that personal characteristics (material values, change seeking tendency and prestige sensitivity) and fashion-information sources do influence the consumer decision-making styles and that these three groups were unique in their decision-making characteristics showing that consumer decision-making styles can be a good segmentation base for apparel market.

In this paper, we posit that time-related effects (i.e., the importance of saving time) on patronage preference for shopping online will be moderated by consumer characteristics. To explore these moderating effects, we empirically examine the moderating roles of consumer characteristics on the respective effects of shopping-time-saved and delivery on online purchase preference. On the basis of analyses performed on data gleaned from an Internet-based survey, this study demonstrate that time effects related to both shopping-time-saved and delivery on online purchase preference are more pronounced for consumers who are male, young, and more starved for time. In addition, the effect of delivery time on online patronage preference is amplified by disposable income, but attenuated by online shopping experience. Through our analyses, we also find that Japanese consumers value delivery time to a greater degree than Chinese and American consumers do.

A blog has significant effect as a new online medium and as a tool to share information with its powerful networking function. Blogs are established based on personal experience and their impact is stronger than conventional media in terms of informativeness, credibility and interactivity. Such characteristics of blogs lead to blog commitment (a phenomenon that has behavioral consequences) that eventually influences consumer fashion purchase behavior. The more a consumer is interested in fashion and seeks diverse information from a wide range of media, the more personally committed they become to certain blogs; in addition, they will also post the results of their fashion product purchases on their blog to further create and reproduce information. This research discovers how blog commitment affects fashion product purchase behavior and information reproduction activity among consumers as well as explores the impact of blog characteristics and information variety seeking by individual consumers on these factors. The data was collected from 428 adults who purchased a fashion product based on information they found on a blog. The results are as follows. First, blog characteristics are composed of accessibility, interactivity, credibility of the information, and informativeness. Second, in terms of the blog commitment, informativeness, credibility, and consumer information diversification (respectively), turned out to have positive effects; in addition, accessibility and credibility had positive effects for corporate blogs. The comparison between private and corporate blogs showed that consumers tend to be more committed to private blogs. Third, in terms of the brand attitude, private/corporate blog commitment, credibility, and consumer information diversification (respectively) had a positive influence. Fourth, blog characteristics and consumer information diversification led consumers (through private/corporate blog commitment) to form a favorable attitude towards the brand and purchase products that resulted in information reproduction of the purchased product.
